"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Happy and poor or rich and unhappy?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Correction, its not possible for a MATERIALISTIC person to be poor and feel happy.Kerpal said:
Have you ever been to isolated third world villages? Even tho in our terms they are poor, eveyone there is very peaceful and happy.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

That is American B.S. Since when do Americans venture to third world villages? Tell me? When? They don't!! Those third world village people would risk their lives for a flat screen tv. Trust me. You go be a Somalian!n00bPimp said:
Trust me. I have been to piss poor Ukrainian villages and seen how "happy" people are. NOT! The people in the ritzy areas of Kyiv with their $500,000 cars and penchant for fancy drinks seem a lot happier to me.
In saying this...after you reach a certain level of wealth more money DOES NOT improve how you feel. Basically, a typical male just needs a nice car, a nice tv, sports, a nice drink, and a young girlfriend who will give him his nice drinks while he watches sports. Reason my favorite place on earth is a country like Ukraine.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I was born in Peru, so yes I have traveled and stayed at places like these. But I was too materialistic back then to appreciate it.BigJimbo said:
Of course rich people SEEM happier, they can afford to have everything they want, but that only brings them short lived excitement, not a true and lasting happiness, this is why they have to go buy more and more! Haven't you ever heard "money doesnt buy happiness"? well its a popular saying, and its popular for a reason. There are hundreds of studies that confirm that wealth and happiness are not correlated at all.

Words out of my mouth, talk about a false dilemma, this poll is the sort of crap Hollywood tries to spoon-feed us.Kerpal said:
I choose option #3, rich and happy.
The key is to always live in the moment, not always living in the past or in the future. When you are at work, you are at work no matter how boring it is. You don't sit there thinking you wish you were Brad Pitt because he doesn't have to work. And for your information, Brad Pitt does work. Anything that involves money is a job. Even Barrack Obama works every single minute. The key is to find a job you like. Don't be like my brother who wants to retire at the age of 21. Seriously, television isn't really that healthy.
Don't always live in the past. I know you thought your ex was the one but let's face it. More than likely, she's out there getting f*ck by her new boyfriend now. The past can never be changed. Don't think about it too much.
Always be thankful for what you have. The car you used the dream of, more than likely that you have it now. The motorcycle, the girl etc. Learn to look back and remember the days when you have nothing. Open your eyes and be thankful for everything. You don't have to say thank you that you have a car. The fact that you wash it at least once a week is enough. You don't have to say thank you that you have a place to live in. Just clean it once in a while and that's good enough.
I can go on and on and on how I keep myself happy. The truth is you have to make yourself happy everyday through your mind. A lot of people are amaze how other people are always happy and motivated and a lot of people don't realize that it's a constant battle each day.
Everyone wants to be rich and famous because we think it will make us happy. The girls will love us, the haters will envy us, and we will be noticed and we won't die as if we never existed. We all want to feel important. The truth is we all are.
A lot of people are just blind. You have the doctor who thinks he's the man and he's above everyone else in the hospital. You have the nurses who have so much respect to the doctors yet they look down on the people who collects the garbages because they never went to school, or the cook who makes the food. The truth is we all need each other. Whatever your job is, it was created because it was needed. The garbage collector, the caregivers, the cops, the teachers, the pilots, the taxi drivers, the president, the bank clerk, the baker, every single job!!!!!
I know that people feel like there's some kind of level and that most people put themselves on the lowest category every single time. There is no such thing as a level.
To me, either you're above God or you're below God. I believe we are all below God and no matter what you accomplish in this world you are not better than anyone else. Period.
I know a lot of people are thinking. If I can only get my pretty face inside that tv screen I will be the happiest person on earth. What those kind of people need to realize is that the hot chick that works at bestbuy could have been Megan Fox but you don't pay attention to her because her face isn't on that stupid tv screen of yours. Man you guys are all superstars and you don't even know it.
For those who think that you can't be happy if you're poor. Good luck. I hope you become a millionaire. Seriously though. Don't do that to yourself. Always thinking you were rich. Don't always live in the future. Stay in the present as hard as you can. If you're having sex, you're having sex. If you're swimming, you're swimming. If you're boxing, you're boxing. If you're eating, you're eating. If you're walking, you're walking. If you're struggling with life, hey enjoy it because nothing last forever. Be exactly where you are and enjoy everything. Smile and let them figure out why you're so happy.
Here's somehting I found very interesting, when I aksed this same question to the women at my job ( i work around mostly women) 4 out of 6 said they'd rather be rich and unhappy.
This shows how different women are from us.

That's bc they know themselves better than we do, that they are perpetually unhappy, so might as well have money for the rest of their sad, sorry lives.n00bPimp said:
I've been happy since Sept 2005. I changed in the moment, in the twinkling of an eye back then. You want to know how? It was a oneitis, but more specifically, it was My finding my True loving self again, like I remembered myself to be when I was young. I was very happy until I started going to school. School jaded the fvck out of me. It took me a while to reclaim my true self after all that bogus schooling bullsh!t, such a waste. Reality is happiness, fantasy world is a nightmare. School is fantasy world. None of it works. Only love works, and kissing the teacher's as5 or some politician's as5, your boss' as5, to get ahead, the politics, is grade-A misery for me.
I'm happy to be a hard worker, away from offices and corporate politics. I'm happy because I am free. 98% of people have to work in order to Live, so if you don't like your job, then you won't be happy, no matter how much you are paid as a man. Now as a woman, they have a monthly miserable rag to deal with, so they can't be perpetually happy like we can. Their happiness gets disrupted all the time.

All that's clear is that you don't know how to make a decent poll. "Well ****, would I rather be happy or not?"n00bPimp said:
Idiotic. Really. It's the sort of question a media douchebag would ask.
Why not ask something really interesting instead of fluffy baby-diaper diarrhea like this, if you have to ask anything at all?

It's actually worse than that. It's a case of making up two stupidly simplistic and essentially impossible situations and then pretending they make sense and THEN trying to discuss them thoughtfully. Hmmmm. Well, hmmmm.San Jose California said:

Emperor of Jupiter. Molasses tastes horrible.bigjohnson said:
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
